1In the four hundred and eightieth[1] year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the temple of the Lord.2The temple that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.[2]3The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits,[3] and projected ten cubits[4] from the front of the temple.4He made narrow windows high up in the temple walls.5Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms.6The lowest floor was five cubits[5] wide, the middle floor six cubits[6] and the third floor seven.[7] He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.7In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built.8The entrance to the lowest[8] floor was on the south side of the temple; a stairway led up to the middle level and from there to the third.9So he built the temple and completed it, roofing it with beams and cedar planks.10And he built the side rooms all along the temple. The height of each was five cubits, and they were attached to the temple by beams of cedar.11The word of the Lord came to Solomon:12‘As for this temple you are building, if you follow my decrees, observe my laws and keep all my commands and obey them, I will fulfil through you the promise I gave to David your father.13And I will live among the Israelites and will not abandon my people Israel.’14So Solomon built the temple and completed it.15He lined its interior walls with cedar boards, panelling them from the floor of the temple to the ceiling, and covered the floor of the temple with planks of juniper.16He partitioned off twenty cubits at the rear of the temple with cedar boards from floor to ceiling to form within the temple an inner sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.17The main hall in front of this room was forty cubits[9] long.18The inside of the temple was cedar, carved with gourds and open flowers. Everything was cedar; no stone was to be seen.19He prepared the inner sanctuary within the temple to set the ark of the covenant of the Lord there.20The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty wide and twenty high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold, and he also overlaid the altar of cedar.21Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.22So he overlaid the whole interior with gold. He also overlaid with gold the altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary.23For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim out of olive wood, each ten cubits high.24One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits – ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip.25The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape.26The height of each cherub was ten cubits.27He placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.28He overlaid the cherubim with gold.29On the walls all round the temple, in both the inner and outer rooms, he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers.30He also covered the floors of both the inner and outer rooms of the temple with gold.31For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary.32And on the two olive-wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with hammered gold.33In the same way, for the entrance to the main hall he made doorframes out of olive wood that were one quarter of the width of the hall.34He also made two doors out of juniper wood, each having two leaves that turned in sockets.35He carved cherubim, palm trees and open flowers on them and overlaid them with gold hammered evenly over the carvings.36And he built the inner courtyard of three courses of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams.37The foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv.38In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. He had spent seven years building it.
1 Kings 6
King James Version
1And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon' reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.2And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits , and the height thereof thirty cubits.3And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.4And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.5And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:6The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.7And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.8The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber , and out of the middle into the third.9So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.10And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.11And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,12Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:13And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.14So Solomon built the house, and finished it.15And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.16And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place .17And the house, that is , the temple before it, was forty cubits long .18And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.19And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.20And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.21So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.22And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.23And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.24And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.25And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.26The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.27And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.28And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.29And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.30And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.31And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall .32The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.33So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall .34And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.35And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.36And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.37In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:38And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
1Und es geschah im 480. Jahr nach dem Auszug der Söhne Israel aus dem Land Ägypten, im vierten Jahr der Regierung Salomos über Israel, im Monat Siw, das ist der zweite Monat, da baute er das Haus für den HERRN. (Ex 12:51; 1Ki 6:37; Ezr 5:11; Ac 7:47)2Und das Haus, das der König Salomo für den HERRN baute: sechzig Ellen ⟨betrug⟩ seine Länge und zwanzig ⟨Ellen⟩ seine Breite und dreißig Ellen seine Höhe. (Ezr 6:3)3Und die Vorhalle vor dem Tempelraum[1] des Hauses: Zwanzig Ellen war ihre Länge vor der Breite des Hauses her; zehn Ellen war ihre Breite, in der Längsrichtung des Hauses[2] ⟨gemessen⟩. (1Ki 7:12; Eze 40:48; Joh 10:23; Ac 3:11)4Und er machte für das Haus Fenster mit Rahmen und Gitterwerk. (Eze 40:16)5Und er baute an der Wand des Hauses einen Anbau[3] ringsumher, an den Wänden des Hauses rings um den Tempelraum und den Hinterraum[4]; und er machte Seiten⟨stockwerke⟩[5] ringsumher. (1Ch 28:11; Ps 28:2; Jer 35:2; Eze 40:17)6Der untere Anbau: fünf Ellen ⟨betrug⟩ seine Breite; und der mittlere: sechs Ellen seine Breite; und der dritte: sieben Ellen seine Breite. Denn er hatte dem Haus ringsum nach außen zu Absätze gegeben, um nicht in die Wände des Hauses einzugreifen[6].7Und als das Haus gebaut wurde, wurde es aus Steinen erbaut, die vom Steinbruch her unbehauen[7] waren, und Hammer und Meißel ⟨oder⟩ irgendein ⟨anderes⟩ eisernes Werkzeug waren im Haus nicht zu hören, als es erbaut wurde. (De 27:6; Jos 8:31)8Der Eingang zum mittleren[8] Seiten⟨stockwerk⟩ war an der rechten[9] Seite des Hauses; und mit⟨hilfe von⟩ Wendeltreppen[10] stieg man zum mittleren und vom mittleren zum dritten hinauf.9Und er baute das Haus und vollendete es, und er deckte das Haus mit Balken und Bohlenreihen aus Zedern. (Ex 40:33; 1Ki 7:51; 1Ki 9:25)10Und er baute den Anbau[11] am ganzen Haus – fünf Ellen ⟨betrug jeweils⟩ seine Höhe – und fasste so das Haus mit Zedernbalken ein[12].11Und das Wort des HERRN geschah zu Salomo, indem er sprach:12⟨Was⟩ dieses Haus ⟨betrifft⟩, das du baust⟨, so sollst du wissen⟩: Wenn du in meinen Ordnungen lebst[13] und meine Rechtsbestimmungen tust und alle meine Gebote bewahrst, dass du in ihnen lebst[14], dann werde ich dir mein Wort aufrechterhalten[15], das ich zu deinem Vater David geredet habe. (1Ki 2:4)13Und ich werde mitten unter den Söhnen Israel wohnen und werde mein Volk Israel nicht verlassen. (Ex 25:8; De 31:6; 2Co 6:16; Re 21:3)14Und Salomo baute das Haus und vollendete es. (Ex 40:33; 1Ki 7:51; 1Ki 9:25)15Und er verkleidete[16] die Wände des Hauses innen mit Zedernbrettern; vom Fußboden des Hauses bis an die Balken[17] der Decke belegte er sie innen mit Holz; und er belegte den Fußboden des Hauses mit Wacholderbrettern.16Und er baute ⟨einen Abschnitt⟩ von zwanzig Ellen von der Rückseite des Hauses her mit Zedernbrettern vom Fußboden bis an die ⟨Decken⟩balken[18]. So baute er ⟨diesen Abschnitt⟩ für das Haus[19] innen zum Hinterraum aus[20], zum Allerheiligsten. (Ex 26:33; Eze 45:3)17Vierzig Ellen ⟨lang⟩ war das Haus, das ist der Tempelraum vor dem Hinterraum[21].18Und Zedernholz war innen am Haus, Schnitzwerk von Koloquinten⟨blättern⟩[22] und Blumengewinden[23]. Alles war Zedernholz, kein Stein war zu sehen.19Den Hinterraum richtete er im Innersten des Hauses her, um die Lade des Bundes des HERRN dort hinzustellen.20Und der Hinterraum war[24] zwanzig Ellen lang und zwanzig Ellen breit und zwanzig Ellen hoch. Und er überzog ihn mit gediegenem Gold.[25] Auch den Zedernholzaltar überzog er ⟨damit⟩. (Ex 26:29; Ex 30:3; Re 21:18)21Und Salomo überzog das Haus innen mit gediegenem Gold und zog goldene Ketten vor dem Hinterraum entlang und überzog ihn mit Gold[26].22Das ganze Haus überzog er mit Gold, das ganze Haus vollständig. Auch den ganzen Altar, der zum Hinterraum gehörte, überzog er mit Gold. (Ex 26:29; Heb 9:4; Re 21:18)23Und er machte im Hinterraum zwei Cherubim aus Ölbaumholz, zehn Ellen ihre Höhe. (Ex 25:18)24Fünf Ellen ⟨maß⟩ der eine Flügel des Cherubs und fünf Ellen der andere Flügel des Cherubs: zehn Ellen von dem einen Ende seiner Flügel bis zu dem andern Ende seiner Flügel.25Zehn Ellen ⟨maß⟩ auch der andere Cherub: beide Cherubim hatten ein ⟨und dasselbe⟩ Maß und ein ⟨und dieselbe⟩ Gestalt.26Die Höhe des einen Cherubs ⟨betrug⟩ zehn Ellen und ebenso ⟨die⟩ des andern Cherubs.27Und er stellte die Cherubim in die Mitte des inneren Hauses; und die Cherubim breiteten die Flügel aus[27], sodass der Flügel des einen ⟨Cherubs⟩ die ⟨eine⟩ Wand berührte und der Flügel des andern Cherubs die andere Wand berührte; ihre Flügel zur Mitte des Hauses hin aber berührten sich gegenseitig, Flügel an Flügel. (1Ki 8:6)28Und er überzog die Cherubim mit Gold.29Und alle Wände des Hauses ringsum schnitzte er aus mit Schnitzwerkreliefs von Cherubim und Palmen⟨ornamenten⟩ und Blumengewinden[28] im Inneren und im Äußeren. (Ex 26:1; Eze 40:16)30Und den Fußboden des Hauses überzog er mit Gold, im Inneren und im Äußeren.31Und für den Eingang zum Hinterraum machte er Türflügel aus Ölbaumholz; die Einfassung[29] ⟨bildete⟩ einen fünffach gestaffelten Türrahmen[30]. (Eze 41:23)32Und in die beiden Türflügel aus Ölbaumholz, auf ihnen schnitzte er Schnitzwerk von Cherubim und Palmen⟨ornamenten⟩ und Blumengewinden[31] und überzog sie mit Gold, und auf die Cherubim und auf die Palmen⟨ornamente⟩ ließ er das Gold aufhämmern. (2Ch 4:22; Eze 40:16)33Und ebenso machte er für den Eingang zum Tempelraum Türrahmen aus Ölbaumholz und ⟨machte⟩ vierfach gestaffelte Türrahmen[32]34und zwei Türen aus Wacholderholz; die beiden Türflügel der einen Tür waren ⟨bis an die Wand⟩ drehbar, und die beiden Türflügel[33] der anderen Tür waren ⟨bis an die Wand⟩ drehbar.35Und er schnitzte Cherubim und Palmen⟨ornamente⟩ und Blumengewinde[34] ein und überzog sie mit Gold, das dem Eingeritzten genau angepasst war[35]. (2Ch 4:22)36Und er baute den inneren Vorhof aus drei Lagen Quadern und aus einer Lage Zedernbalken. (1Ki 7:12; 2Ch 4:9; Ezr 6:4; Eze 40:28)37Im vierten Jahr wurde die Grundmauer des Hauses des HERRN gelegt, im Monat Siw; (1Ki 6:1)38und im elften Jahr, im Monat Bul, das ist der achte Monat, war das Haus vollendet, nach all seinen Teilen und nach all seinen Erfordernissen[36]; so hatte er sieben Jahre daran gebaut. (Ex 39:43; 1Ch 5:36; 1Ch 28:19; 2Ch 8:1; 2Ch 8:16; Joh 2:20)
